 Dr. Jones is among the first physicians in North America to add micro follicular unit extraction (FUE) - scalpel-free hair transplants to his practice. He has been practicing from his hair transplant center in Oakville (near Toronto) Ontario for many years, but since he started using the micro follicular unit extraction technique he has become a leader in the field.

hair loss
I am a 37 year old female and recently had my third child in September. December 17th I noticed my hair starting to shed when I would shower or run a wide comb through it after showering. It has not let up since and now I notice my forehead line to look as if I have baby hair from where my hair has come out. After my first child in 1996 I lost some hair but it was right away after delivery it was not several months after. I went to my doctor and he tested my thyroid and it came back fine and he told me to give it a year and see what happens- well I honestly do not want to wait that long. Any suggestions or ideas of blood work I could have done or type of doctor I could be referred to.
Thank You!
Hi Diane,
It is not unusual to lose some hair after a pregnancy. Before you panic, wait at least one year. In the mean time get some minoxidil 5% from your doctor, it will help bring the hair out of a telogen phase,
